Printing
 

Create a print job
In order to print something, you must send it to the printer. This constitutes a print job, which is entered
into the printers print queue. There are two main ways of sending a print job to the printer:
●To print directly from a program, use the programs Print command as usual. When you select your
HP Designjet printer, the printer driver is invoked to send your job to the printer.
●If you have a file that is already in a supported graphical format, you can use the Embedded Web
Server...

Select print quality
The printer has various print-quality options because best-quality printing requires some loss of speed,
while fast printing implies some reduction in print quality.
Therefore, the standard print-quality selector is a slider that allows you to choose between quality and
speed. With some paper types, you can choose a compromise position between the two.
Alternatively, you can select from the custom options: Best, Normal and Fast. If you select Fast, you
can also select Economode,...

●On the Embedded Web Servers Submit Job page: select Advanced settings > Paper > Page
size > Standard.
●
Using the front panel: select the Setup menu icon 
, then Printing preferences > Paper >
Select paper size.
NOTE:If the paper size is set from your computer, it overrides the paper size setting in the front
panel.

with a narrow margin between the edges of the image and the edges of the paper. In this case, if
the image is the same size as the page, the printer assumes that the extreme edges of the image
are either white or unimportant, and do not need to be printed. This may be useful when your image
already contains a border.
●Borderless. Your image will be printed on a page of the size you have selected, with no...

If you decide later that you no longer want a shortcut, you can delete it.
Rescale a print
You can send an image to the printer at a certain size but tell the printer to rescale it to a different size
(normally larger). This may be useful:
●If your software does not support large formats
●If your file is too large for the printers memory— in this case, you can reduce the paper size in your
software and then scale it up again using the front-panel option
You can rescale an image in the following ways:
●In...

To turn merge on, go to the front panel and select the Setup menu icon , then Printing
preferences > HP-GL/2 > Enable merge. You can set the merge option from your software in some
